When it comes to outdoor gear, only the best locking carabiners should be trusted for your safety. If you are required to handle installations at heights, then you will need guarantees that the safety and rescue equipment on hand is of the utmost best quality and is designed for exceptional durability and strength – without this guarantee, you will not be able to carry out your task or function with confidence. Climbing and safety gear should offer exceptional durability and anti corrosion features in order for climbers and installation technicians to have peace of mind in their fall arrest system. Tower climbers around the world rely heavily on various fall protection products to ensure their safety while efficiently managing installation projects at heights. When looking for the various equipment and accessories required, always focus on finding items of quality.

Carabiners used for fall protection the US must meet with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard which specifies that connectors must have a minimum breaking strength of 5000lbf.
